Prot. N. 41/19/I

Most Blessed Father,

Justin Cormie, deacon of the archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, who, on the first day of the next month of June, by the most eminent and reverend metropolitan archbishop of the Holy Roman Church Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, in the co-cathedral church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, will be promoted to the sacred priesthood, humbly implores a plenary indulgence for the faithful who, being truly penitent and compelled by charity, purifying themselves by sacramental confession and refreshing themselves with the Most Holy Eucharist, and finally pouring forth prayers for the intention of your holiness, will be devoutly present among the people on the days and sacred places of the first prayed Mass, as already indicated in the entreating letters.

And God, etc.

March 4, 2019

The Apostolic Penitentiary, by the mandate of the most holy Pope Francis, freely assents to the proposed requests. Thus, the faithful, progressing ever more toward the act of life, will be roused to the supernatural virtues, especially of Faith, Hope, and Chari-ty, and will strengthen their communion with the Roman Pontiff, the visi-ble foundation of the unity of the whole Catholic Church.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary.

Padre Santísimo, Justin Cormie, diácono de la archidiócesis de Galveston-Houston, quien, el primer día del próximo mes de junio, por el arzobispo metropolitano más eminente y reverendo de la Iglesia Romana, Daniel Cardenal DiNardo, en la iglesia de la catedral El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, será promovido al sacerdocio sagrado, humilde-mente implora una indulgencia plenaria para los fieles que, siendo verdaderamente penitentes y obligados por la caridad, se purifican mediante la confesión sacramental y se refrescan con la Santísima Eucaristía, y finalmente hacen oraciones para la intención de vuestra santidad, estará devotamente presente entre la gente en los días y lugares sagrados de la primera misa orada, como ya se indicó en las cartas de súplica. Y Dios, etc.

La Penitenciaría Apostólica, por mandato del santísimo Papa Francisco, acepta libremente las solicitudes propuestas.

Así, los fieles, progresando cada vez más hacia el acto de la

vida, serán despertados a las virtudes sobrenaturales, especialmente de Fe, Esperanza y Caridad, y fortalecerán su comunión con el Romano Pontífice, el fundamento visible de la unidad de toda la Igle-sia Católica.

A pesar de todo lo contrario.

STCS A

Private School Interscholastic Association—State Competition On May 4, 2019, 18 of our students descended upon the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth for the Annual Private School Interscholastic Association—State Competition. STCS had eleven students earn distinctions:

David Trinh-1st place in 8th Grade Maps, Graphs, and Charts Clare Hayes-1st place in 5th Grade Ready Writing

Samantha Court-1st place in 4th Grade Ready Writing

Ana Granados-2nd place in 8th Grade Music Memory Anastasia Dementyev-2nd place in 6th Grade Science

Carys Evans-2nd place in 4th Grade Ready Writing Clare Hayes-3rd place 5th Grade Spelling;

Danica Tran-5th place 6th Grade Spelling

Nikita Dementyev-6th place for 3rd Grade Mathematics; Geneva Perry-7th place in 8th Grade Mathematics;

Adanna Okeke-9th place in 6th Grade Spelling Chimkasi Ezike-10th place in 5th Grade Music Memory

As a school, Saint Theresa earned official recognition at the state level of PSIA, coming in 6th in the Elementary division, and tying for 10th in the Middle School division. This is a remarkable accolade, given that we have only

been involved with PSIA for two years and we have less than 240 students. Great Job, Griffins!!

P -K K F T Fifty curious and energetic STCS Griffins descended upon the Fort Bend Discovery Center and Museum of Natural History in Sugar Land on Wednesday, May 8th. Highlights of the trip were the Dinosaur Dig, Yalalag: A Mountain

Village in Mexico, and Kidtropolis, USA. Fifty happy but tired STCS Griffins returned to school in time for dismissal.

In recent weeks some Catholics around the Archdiocese have received solicitation emails

or text messages from unknown persons claiming to be Roman Catholic priests.

The soliciting party requests that gift cards be purchased for use by a priest or parish church.

These solicitations are false and should be ignored. No priest, deacon, or anyone else

acting on behalf of St. Theresa Catholic Church, or any other parish of the Archdiocese,

will ever solicit cash or gift cards for personal or Church use. Thank you.

PRAYER FOR MY FAMILY

Loving God, I offer thanks for the gift of my family. Help us to work together for peace and harmony in

our relationships.

Grant us the grace to accept each other’s faults and weaknesses. Protect us

from harsh words and hurt feelings. Assist us to encourage one another’s

strengths and abilities. Lead us to mutual understanding and support.

May we always forgive each other’s failings

and rejoice in one another’s successes.

Watch over my family, Dear Lord. Bless us with good health and happiness. Fill our hearts with love, patience and kindness

for one another, now and always. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
